ALLENDALE, Mich. - The Indiana University Kokomo Women's Outdoor Track & Field team competed Friday and Saturday in NCAA Division II Grand Valley State's Early Meet.

Sydney Duncan led the Cougars in Michigan once again, this time punching her ticket to the 2025 NAIA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships in Discus (Invitational) with an NAIA "B" standard performance, also winning the Shot Put (Invitational).

Shot Put was held Friday, and Duncan took care of business as she has done all indoor/outdoor season. She won the event with a mark of 15.73 meters, winning by 0.30 meters over Grand Valley State's Mackenzie Bohrer. Sydney carried that momentum over to Discus on Saturday, where she finished third with a "B" standard throw of 47.19 meters. That mark is a new school record and good for #1 in the River States Conference, plus #5 in the NAIA.

Fellow thrower Faith Rock also excelled in Discus (Open) Saturday, finishing fifth of 18 competitors with a toss of 39.11 meters, good for #2 all time in program history and second in the RSC behind Duncan.

Sophomore Jaydi Jones finished 10th in the 400 Friday, crossing the finish line in a time of 1:03.21 to sit second all-time in the program record books.

Experienced distance runner Hannah Wells had another successful weekend, turning in a time of 4:52.08 in the 1500 to improve to third all-time in school history. Wells, along with Leslie Sprankles, Paige Brooks, and Jaydi Jones, also finished third in the 4x400 meter relay with a time of 4:17.91 to improve to third all-time in the program's record books.

Gracie Conklin-Davis earned a Top-10 finish in Hammer Throw Friday afternoon, finishing eighth with a mark of 40.71 meters. Conklin-Davis is now third all-time in the record books.

Isabelle Altic and Jada Henson each improved to fourth in the program's record books in their respective events over the weekend. Altic finished 11th in the 5k with a time of 19:18.18 while Henson finished 7th in Shot Put with a throw of 11.37 meters, also good for third-best in the RSC.
